The EPA reports that indoor levels of airborne pollutants may be 2-5 times higher (in extreme cases more than 100 times higher) than outdoor levels. This is particularly significant if you or any family members suffer from respiratory issues such as allergies or asthma.

Though we are not aware of it day to day, we share our homes with a variety of substances that can be harmful to your health. These common indoor allergens range from ordinary household dust that can contain dozens of respiratory issues to pet dander, dust mites, cigarette smoke, pollen, and mold.

Replacing your Air Filters on regular basis helps ensure that the warm or cold air flowing through your ductwork and vents is clean and well-filtered. If a musty odor, has you concerned about mold, it may be time to consider having the air ducts professionally cleaned.
